The NASA Goddard Space Flight Center recently posted a spectacular set of images on Flickr entitled 'Gravity' in reference to the award-winning, blockbuster film Gravity known for its beautiful cinematography and imagery of space. NASA Goddard's images, however, are even more extraordinary because of the fact that they are most definitely real images of the International Space Station, Space Shuttle, NASA astronauts, and various shots of the Earth captured from space.
The breathtaking images are literally out of this world, inspiring awe at the sheer scale and beautiful mystery of outer space. It's extraordinarily humbling to look at images of our planet rotating far below the International Space Station, and to think of the fact that all life as we know it is just a tiny part of this small blue globe floating in the vast cosmos. One can't help but admire the courage of the astronauts, and hope that they continue to blaze forward in their exploration of the universe around us.
Be sure to check out more amazing images from the self-described "science storytellers" at NASA by following their Flickr photostream.
